Terraces on hills
Batley is the town centre around the market place, stone terraces climbing the hills at Hanging Heaton, Staincliffe, Healey and Carlinghow, and estates on the edges. Birstall to the north is semis around the market place and the retail park side. Parking is tight in the terraces, so we send the shorter lorry and come when the street is quiet. Tell us the street when you book.
Grouped with the Heavy Woollen towns
Batley goes out with Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Mirfield, so a lorry is over every couple of days and two working days is the usual lead time. Pick a day at booking and we will phone to confirm it and say whether the lorry is coming in the morning or the afternoon.
Taxis, vans and cars
Batley's taxi trade retires high-mileage cars through us — the mileage does not lower the scrap price, which is on weight and what is on the car. The Bradford Road units send vans, priced from the registration and invoiced to the business. Every vehicle is collected free.
Your paperwork, handled
The driver checks the registered keeper's photo ID and proof of address, loads it, and the bank transfer follows once the car is checked in at our yard — same day for collections before 3pm, next working day after that. The car is depolluted and recycled at our own Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us and the DVLA is told you are no longer the keeper.
Questions people in Batley ask us
- Will the lorry get into the narrow streets in Batley?
- Yes — we send the shorter lorry to the terraces and come when the street is quiet. Give the street name when you book.
- How soon can you collect in Batley?
- Usually within two working days, grouped with Dewsbury and Heckmondwike.
- Do you cover Birstall, Hanging Heaton and Staincliffe?
- Yes — all of WF17 is on the same run at the same free collection.
- When could you collect from Batley?
- We are 21 miles away in Mexborough. If you need a specific day, say so when you book and we will do our best to fit it — we ring you to confirm.
- Is there a collection fee in Batley?
- No. Collection is free: the quote is the amount we pay and recovery is our cost across WF17. The only time a figure changes is if the car turns out to be missing something you told us it had.
- Can you scrap it without the logbook?
- Yes. Photo ID and proof of address are what we are required to check; the V5C is a bonus. We are the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the Certificate of Destruction and the DVLA notification come from us either way.
- How do you pay?
- By bank transfer to the registered keeper, sent once the car has been checked in at our yard: the same day if we collect before 3pm, the next working day if later. Cash is not an option — it has been illegal for scrap vehicles since 2013.
